Question on paternity

Resolved question:
I started my period April 15 (2013) I had sex may 6 (2013) and received a positive pregnancy result may 12. Any possibility that this sexual encounter was when I conceived?

Hello,
Thanks for writing to DoctorSpring.com with your health concern.

It is not probable, but yes, there is a possibility.
Some pregnancy tests can detect a pregnancy really early.
Were you sexually active prior to May 6 too ?

Please do write back.
Take care.

Yes, April 29th. My ultrasound scan on 6/13 was dated 8 weeks 2 days but now that my beautiful baby is born & I intend to marry the man I thought I conceived with on April 29th, I'm having doubts-just by her "looks" -she is 5 days old today....

Hello again,

The dates are too close by - just a week apart.
There is no way you can say from which encounter you conceived, because of the proximity of the two episodes.

First trimester scanning has an inherent error margin of plus or minus 5 to 7 days.
So , DNA paternity test is the only option ahead of you, to have a conclusive opinion.

Take care.
